He told me to tell finance people I gave him 4000 dollars. The truck has not ran since three weeks after I got it. Talked to him about it and he is telling me that I should have looked at the situation a little better. That's it when he knew all the time it wasn't safe enough to sell.

Pulled up in parking lot claiming that Best Buy gave him one too many for an installation project, and doesn’t want to take it back to his boss only to not gain anything. Offered a Claria CLR45 projector and separate projection screen package, displayed the product on his phone on what appeared to be BestBuy.com. Upon checking when home there is no such product on BestBuy, and I found that other scams have occurred in this area and with this product, which is not what it appears to be in specs, but a low-end projector. There even seems to be a fake ClariaProjectors.com website that he used to support it, with high-end specs and MSRP.

Based on my experience, there are serious inconsistencies between how this business presents itself online and what happens when you actually need to make a return. The company presents itself as a Nashville business and lists a Nashville address on its website. However, I could not verify a physical store operating under this name at that address. The website is now stating that they are “moving,” which raises even more questions for me about the address they previously provided. Everything seemed fine until I received an item that I wanted to return. Initially, instead of simply providing return instructions, they asked me to send photos of the item's measurements, the size tag, and, if possible, a photo showing how the item fit. I provided everything they requested. They eventually responded with return instructions, but this raised another major concern: I was told to ship my return to the following address in the United Kingdom: UK Warehouse 16 Queens Court, Greets Green Road West Bromwich, B70 9EG United Kingdom If this is a Nashville-based company, why are customers being instructed to return merchandise internationally to a warehouse in the UK? This was certainly not what I expected when purchasing from a business presenting itself as being located in Nashville. There is also no phone number where I could speak with someone directly. My original order took almost a month to arrive, and the entire return process has been unnecessarily complicated. After experiencing these issues, I researched the company further and found extremely concerning BBB customer reviews. I wish I had done that research before placing my order. For me, there are simply too many red flags: a Nashville business address where I could not verify a store under this name, a notice claiming they are now “moving,” no customer-service phone number, an order that took almost a month to arrive, an unusually complicated return process, and finally being instructed to send my return to a warehouse in the United Kingdom. Had I known before purchasing that I might have to ship a return internationally to the UK, I would never have placed the order. Buyer beware. I would not purchase from this company again. I strongly recommend that anyone considering ordering from them research the business, its reviews, its physical location, and especially its return process before making a purchase.

The store advertised in the windows and inside that they were selling Nee Dohs. They sold the toys in what looked to be authentic packaging. Once I opened it at home, I realized that the toys did not have the Nee Doh branding on them. I then further inspected the box and realized that it had a misspelling, saying “Yelvet” instead of velvet. I am disappointed that the store would advertise and sell a product in a box that said a brand name with a product that clearly was not from the brand inside.

I placed an order and soon realized after that I was signed up for a subscription. Before I even received my first order I contacted the company through email and was assured my subscription had been cancelled. The following month my card was charged again & a new order arrived. I called their customer service number and told them I wanted it cancelled they assured me again this time it was cancelled. I could not stop the package and was charged $103.00. I then sent the package back but I used the return address on the box they delivered. I did not send it to their return place apparently. They did provide a portal but I did not see I had a label on the email. While I was dealing with this my card was charged a second time for another order this one I was able to stop before it shipped. They refunded this one. They won’t refund the one I sent to the address on the package they sent me. I still feel they should still try to make this right even though I sent it to one of their other shipping locations. I needed to contact them 3 times to stop them from charging my card. I finally decided to change my card number. I think if I wouldn’t have done this they would have continued to charge it. This was a horrible experience! I would not recommend ordering from them they will just continue to keep charging you even after trying to cancel their subscription.

SCAM — BUYER BEWARE! I strongly recommend doing your research before ordering from this company. Based on my experience, I do not believe this business operates as it represents itself online. The address listed on its website does not appear to have a physical store with this name at that location. They are now stating on their website that they are “moving.” Given that I could not verify a business operating under this name at the address they provided, I find this explanation extremely concerning. In my opinion, it raises even more questions about why that address was listed as their business location in the first place. Everything seemed fine until I received an item that I needed to return. That is when the problems started. When I contacted the company about the return, instead of providing straightforward return instructions, they asked me to send: Photos showing the actual measurements of the item (length, waist, etc.) A clear photo of the size tag If possible, a photo showing how the item fit They assured me that once they received this information, their team would review it and find a resolution. I provided everything they requested, and then they stopped responding. There is no phone number where I could reach anyone. Even more concerning, their return/exchange policy appears to suggest that if you need a different size, you should simply go back to the website and purchase another item, without clearly explaining what you are supposed to do with the original item or how to return it for a refund. After this happened, I researched the company further and found extremely concerning BBB customer reviews. I wish I had done that research before ordering. My order also took almost a month to arrive, and based on the shipping and my experience, this does not appear to be the U.S.-based retail operation I believed I was purchasing from. Buyer beware. My experience was that the company communicated with me until I requested a return, asked me to provide extensive photographic evidence, and then stopped responding after I complied. The questionable business address, the claim that they are now “moving,” the lack of a phone number, and the difficulty obtaining return instructions are all major red flags for me. I would not purchase from this company again and strongly caution others to research it thoroughly before providing payment information.

The customer service question board deletes and you have to start over and you can't get copies of your request and what they tell you have to do to get your money released. They are making fake review and taking peoples money to process reviews.

That was July 2, 2026. After 15 days I checked the tracking and it said it was coming out of China. Now I'm suspicious. I emailed them. There response was it would be there within the 30 days not 15. I kept tracking it through canada, etc. emailinh them at least 8 times. Always saying give it more time. Then it said it was delivered . They said they'd check into it. That was Aug 13, 2026. I had checked the tracking once more and it flashed that my card had a suspicious charge and hit the button to resolve. Of course I know better. I did contact my card the correct way and disputed the charges. I also emailed the scammers that the products were no longer useful to me and I wanted my money back.

Identity Theft - Non-Profit Health Share Provider-Not Insurance Company

I was exploring some healthcare options online since my cobra insurance was about to end. I looked up Christian Healthcare Ministries, entered name, phone number and zip code to be able to see the options available. I was immediately contacted by phone and could not go further on website. Person on phone said they were with WeShare Healthcare. When I asked if they were part of Christian Healthcare Ministries, the person said yes. (3 times during conversation I asked if affiliated with CHM, and was told yes they were). Went over options and against my gut feeling (because I was about to be without medical insurance) decided to fill out application, which had all my pertinent information. I was told the application fee was $99, then in a couple weeks the monthly membership fee (supposed to be medical coverage fee) would be auto withdrawn using same debit card. Next day I called Christian Healthcare Ministries from my home phone and discovered they have had several complaints about WeShare Healthcare high jacking their website. WeShare Healthcare is not the same as CHM. I immediately called WeShare Healthcare and cancelled my application and told them I did not want their services. Also told them they were not who I thought they were. I received email to cancel application but was told I could not get the $99 application fee back. Although I had my bank cancel my debit card, and had a fraud alert put on my credit accounts, I am concerned that my identity information may be used without my knowledge.
